Statistics show...

Students living on-campus continue to academically out-perform their peers living
off-campus:

Residential students averaged a 2.81 GPA while off campus students averaged a 2.38.
Residential students living in one of the many “learning communities” averaged a 2.89.

30% of students living off-campus were placed on academic probation compared with
14% of residential students.

Of those off-campus students placed on academic probation, 50% are disqualified as
SDSU students by the end of the spring semester; 27% remain on academic probation,
and 24% are removed from academic probation.

Residential students living in “learning communities” at SDSU are twice as likely
to graduate in four years than their non-learning community residential peers.

Residential students who live on for two (2) years have a continuation rate to junior
year of 90%; those who live on for one (1) year have a continuation rate of 70%. Students
who live off campus have a continuation rate of 58%.
